Only in the last couple of weeks of my 71 years have I grown enough to be extremely grateful when the haters attack. The trucks ... that buzz the vehicle, the roiling coal spewing oceans of exhaust in an attempt to destroy my lungs which seems to be pretty successful. Up until recent days I just didn't have a handle on how to respond constructively, though I've been getting glimmerings how to do so in recent years. Now, with day glow gloves, I warmly genuinely wave so that they can see in the rear view mirror which near certainly they're looking thru. What's my thinking? They have a soul, it's been mutilated, tortured, abused into all but nonexistence. But in showing my genuine love for them, in return for their hatred, there's a chance that it will appall, insult, revolt their soul at what they just did to a soul that only wishes them well. And that could be the beginning of a rebirth. If they strike you on the one cheek, offer them the other. This is the insight Jesus had. If they make you walk one mile, walk two with them. If they steal your shirt, give them your coat also. I never knew, I never understood, but now I think I do. This is what he brilliantly tried to share with us, Jesus.
